In Memory of Thomas "TJ" Bauer

Mia and Cillian unexpectedly lost their father, TJ Bauer, on October 8, 2022 to a tragic motor vehicle accident. TJ was a loving and devoted Dad. The loss of their father will forever affect them.

His family has set up this Go Fund Me to ensure the unforeseen financial burdens due to a sudden loss of a parent do not adversely affect the children as they attempt to navigate their grief, loss, and future.

Mia, 13, is an amazing softball and soccer athlete. TJ coached many of her sports teams and it meant the world to him to see her excel in sports the way he did. TJ’s enthusiasm on the sidelines will be missed. TJ also took great pride in his daughter’s report cards. Always telling the family how proud of her he was. Mia will be living with her grandma Kathy Bauer in Holyoke, MA

Cillian, 3, was TJ’s little “Beast” as he would call him. TJ enjoyed having Cillian by his side for all Mia’s games. You could find him running around the field or handing out the trophies at the end of the season. Cillian loved to throw the ball with his dad. TJ cherished every moment he had with his son. Cillian will be living with his mom Melissa McDougall in Halifax, MA

There are no words to describe how much he meant to his kids and family. Though we can not give them their father back, help us ease the financial burden his loss created. Any support you can offer to TJ’s children, financially or otherwise, is kindly and humbly welcomed and appreciated.
